Ready let's start.
July's Ipsy Glam Bag is all about Hot Summer Nights!
The stylist for the month is +Lynette Cenée
The bag is a metallic silver that shifts colors in the light.
The front looks like little beach
umbrellas and says Ipsy on it and inside is a light pink material.
I will start with what I received in my bag
(pictured Below)
Swatches of the 3 products
1st out of the bag is a sample size of -
Joy
inducing hand/body lotion from
the brand
*NOT
SOAP RADIO
Full
size is 12.685 FL Oz and sells for $18.00 online only
You
can find more info here:
This
is used to help Nourish the skin and Psyche.
It’s
a pretty neat concept with Lemon& a sugar fragrance
The
product itself is non-greasy, it melts into your skin like butter and
moisturizes.
The
packaging is cute with inspirational words and saying’s to promote a happy body and happy mind.
The
reviews on the web page are great BUT,
The
thing I am not getting is every one say's there's
"Smells
like a lemon field."
Mine
does not. No lemon scent whatsoever in mine, It just smells bad. I asked my
other family members what they thought and they also said it stinks. Maybe I
just got a bad one (BOO)
2nd product is a Sample size of a -
Mini
Highlight Stick from
the brand
*tre'Stique in the shade Maldives
Luminescent
Full
size sells for $34.00 Online here:
It
is a cream formula that glides on the skin, Blends smoothly and gives you a
soft Luminescence glow.
Lasting
power is pretty good -I would say that it lasted on my face for 9 hrs. . So
pretty good wear time.
That
is also during sleeping because us Lupies do that a lot
(Whether
I want to or not)
3rd product is a Full size Makeup Brush from the brand
*LuxieBeauty it is a small
angle brush #215 in the shade rose gold
It sells for $10.00 on the website here:
I
get so excited when I get a good makeup brush this one is great for eyeliner it
is angled perfectly for that winged look.
I
can't say enough great positive things about their brushes.
4th product is a Full size Lip
liner from the brand
Sells
for $13.00
This
is a beautiful shade it is pretty darn close to my own lip color, water
resistant. It does last a long time the most I have worn it was 6 hrs.
The
synthetic beeswax base makes it smooth, it makes for a soft application and you
can even use it on the eyes. Multi-taskers unite
5th product is a sample size Eye shadow from the brand
It
is a Matte eye shadow and it is gorgeous. I describe it as a rusty brown /red,
kind of Cranberryish.
-It
does have a bit of fall out so make sure you tap your brush before
applying.
The
packaging is too cute for words, again I will be purchasing a lot from them.
It
sells in a Palette with 8 amazing shades for $42.00
Online
here: https://thebalm.com/collections/whats-new/products/meet-matte-trimony-681619806407?variant=16601964422
This
product is so buttery soft glides on perfectly and blends like a dream. It has
been triple milled so that you will get amazing payoff every time...
Lasting
power is amazing as well.
I
wore this one day for 9 hrs. And it looked like it did when I first applied it
at the end of my day...
Well, that is everything I received in my Bag for July.
What do you think of my products? Did you get anything you liked? Let me know in the comment section below
Overall -
I
only had an issue with my Body Lotion which was because of the smell not the
product itself.
I
would say not to bad another great ipsy Month.
On to Jayedyn's bag
She
has the exact same bag but different products
*Makeup
Forever in Black
This
sells for $25.00 for an 8.5 ml
It
is a no -smudge mascara that gives long lasting dramatic look with no clumps.
Jayedyn really liked the
mascara she said that it covers the lashes from root to tip. She really liked
how the lower lashes looked better and that is probably where she will wear it.
She also wants you to know
that the tip is sharp as hell
So don't stab yourself in the
eye like she did..
2nd Product
is a Full size brush from the brand
*LuxieBeauty it
is also the #215 angle brush
in Rose gold. You
know how I feel about these makeup brushes...
3rd Product
is a Sample size of Night
Cream from the brand
*Be Fine food skin care
This sells Online for $30.00 for a 1.7 0z. Pump
Find out more info on the brand here:
This is an Allergen free fragrance, Paraben free and
contains Vegetarian proteins. Jayedyn said that this was good.
This is a light weight cream that does not feel greasy
on the skin that does the job of hydrating.
A great product she would be interested in
trying more out.
4th product is a sample size baked eye shadow from the brand
*Mellow Cosmetics in the shade Plum
This sells Online for $8.00 for a 4-8 g. You can find out more here
This is so buttery smooth, blends like a dream so you
can build it up to the perfect shade. Highly pigmented and so pretty.
It lasts about 6 hrs.
(Not sure if it will last any longer than that
because she only wore it for that long.)
5th product
is a small size of Thermal
spring water mist from the
brand
*Ave'ne - from the south of France
This sells online for $9.00 for this size and can go
up to $18.50 for a 10.58 oz.
The composition is shown to soothe, calm and soften
the skin
Ideal for red, sensitive or irritated skin. You can
use this post workout or freshen up makeup. It truly has a mist which is great
so don't expect it to shoot in your eye.
It is a lightweight mist, No chemical smell and feels
good on the face. I was out of my UD all-nighter spray and used this instead to
set my makeup and it worked perfectly...
What do you think of the products? Did you get
anything you liked? Let me know in the comment section below
She liked all her products in her bag so a great Glam
bag for July. She was also happy that most of them are from France. She
loves all things French...
On to a few extra Fun things -
The 25th of the month was my B-day.
I turned 41 yrs. old!
Joyeux anniversaire!
You better believe I got my bday swag from
Sephora and Ulta !
Sephora- offered a choice from Fresh Skincare
Or Marc Jacobs
I chose *Marc Jacobs
you got a small sample of the
* Le Marc Lip Cream Lipstick in the shade- Kiss Kiss Bang Bang -
It's
buttery smooth , highly pigmented , non-drying , super soft and
feels Luxuriously nice ..
I would say the shade is a berry pink. It's a
gorgeous color.
It is supposed to last on the lips for at least
10 hrs. .
I didn't try it that long but wore mine for a
good 6 hrs.
I love how easily it glides on and feels hydrating on
my lips.
Some of the ingredients are enriched with
Seaberry, Meranti and cocoa butter.
This could easily be one of my favorites if the
price point wasn't $30.00 (Holy Moly)
The other small sample it included was a
*HighLiner gel crayon in Blaquer
This is a black black liner.
It's like a gel liner in a pencil form. It glides on
smoothly and once it sets it doesn't move.
It says it's also waterproof. Which I agree
this did not budge
The product sells for $25.00.
I think they are both worth the price, but for me it's
a bit much, especially since my Medication for my Lupus cost so much and I
am not able to work. It's a shame really. Because I LOVE LOVE this formula on
the lips and eyes. Maybe I can find a dupe? If you know of any please let me
know PLEASE.
If you can afford that I would suggest trying them
both out...
I have heard nothing but good things from the
brand.
The color range is amazing as well.
Ulta - Gave us B-day gals a full size of eye shadow from the brand
*URBAN DECAY - Midnight Cowboy -
This is a $19.00 value
This is shimmery pink champagne with silver
glitter.
If you have tried UD shadows you know how they are
buttery smooth and glide on, blend like a dream and last.
I love this shade you could even use it for a high
light it is gorgeous.
I have never owned any Shadows from the brand But
always wanted too so when I got my Ipsy bag with Fireball in it. I was Happy
and immediately hooked.
From my Husband and Kids I received some awesome
Bracelets From the brand
*Mantra Band-
Bracelets are rust
&, tarnish proof, mine are Stainless steel. But they also come in yellow
gold and rose gold. Engraved with a word or phrase to inspire or empower.
I learned about this company because I watched a video
with +CoffeeBreakwithDani on (YouTube) Love her, she is a joy to watch and I
can take her honest reviews...
Check it out here.
I wanted something simple to wear that wouldn't dangle
and fit my wrist, with some quotes or sayings that I could look at to help me
deal with being sick.
Lupus, MS, Raynaud’s all have different Symptoms that
I deal with on a daily basis.
It's hard at times, I just want to quit.
-I need that physical reminder to help me push
through another day.
-To help in the night, fighting the demons that
tell you it's not worth it.
-something to just help me make it through to another
day and feel like I can move on.
These were perfect they don't hurt going on and off
because they are adjustable. I rarely take them off at all.
They do not turn my arms green. They are cute as well
and I love them. I want a whole wristful to look at....
You can check them out here-
I can guarantee you will fall in love...
The first one I received was from my husband
*Infinite Love
This is what the box say's
Love is the only universal truth; Love is simple, it
needs no explanation.
Love is unconditional, complete, and free.
Love is kindness, Love is compassion.
Love is strength that can move mountains.
Let this bracelet be a reminder that you are loved
wholly, truly infinitely.
The second one was from my kiddos
*Fearless
To be fearless is to do what scares you, to take a
chance, to make a change. To Love again
And to get back up after you fall.
To be fearless is to know your fears, but never let
them stop you.
These were perfect -
I look at them all the time and it truly helps
me. My life is changing in a way that I have no control over, I know how I must
stay strong, fight, be positive. But sometimes it's hard to think about the
positive when you can barely make it to the bathroom, when you are so sick all
you can do is retch, and when you look into your mirror and see what this
disease has done to your face and the weight gain from the steroids you have to
take.
It's easy to quit!
Sorry, I constantly feel like we need to get the
awareness out on this disease.
It's hard to be positive when you feel like it's all
falling apart.
I know I am truly blessed and need to just Let Go and
Let God I am working on this everyday....
The next amazing day was the 31st of the month
That is when I said "I DO" to an amazing,
loving, caring man
We celebrated 23 yrs. of marriage
*I know it's crazy to think about but I am so thankful
and blessed he chose me.
We celebrated with Dinner at the Olive Garden
I haven't received a gift yet, I don't really want
one, but he says it's on its way and I should have it in a few weeks...
I pushed my pain aside for a few hours and gave him a
Hot Stone Massage (I am pretty darn great at these)
What else ---
I also get eyelash extensions
I have absolutely sparse, non -existent lashes and I
wanted long ones that I could flutter with.
* I know how to do them on other people just not on
myself especially when lifting my arms feels like a 100 Pd weight, & my
shaky hands don't help at all either.
I have always wanted to try them but just never
felt like I needed them...Until now so I got them done by a good friend of
mine. I love them it made me feel a bit better when I looked at the rash on my
face or was stuck in bed.
It was amazing to see how much something like this
could help my self-esteem. . *Crazy, materialistic in a way I know.
They lasted almost 2 weeks until I slept
on my face and forgot they were on, I rubbed my eyes & cried (Not pretty
princess crying But just plain ugly crying and a few fell out . I tried
to glue them back myself but I just couldn't do it.
They looked horrible and the glue got on other
ones that I didn't know about. The glue dried funny so combing through them
made more and more come out. My right side looked amazing but the left was
horrible looking so I took off the other side.
I am getting them done again and this time I am
leaving them alone...
If you are in the SLC, UT area and need your lashes
done I know a great esthetician/ lash specialist I can recommend.
Now I have known that Jayedyn wanted some liquid
lipsticks but they were always sold out and No it was not the Kylie Lipsticks
So one day I tried to jump on the computer and chance that maybe they would be
in stock and omg they were I threw them in my cart and she was finally able to
get what she wanted from + JeffreeStar collection.
I love my daughter she is strong and doesn't care what
people think about what she likes. She is willing to go that extra mile if it
is something she believes in. We have both watched Jeffree Stars videos and
love them. I know there is a lot of drama with him now days but I don't
Judge so I don't care.
So pls do not leave any Bad comments
below.
She got 2 of her favorite colors
-JawBreaker which is a light blue
-Watermelon Soda- which is a pinkish shade
That she says smells like watermelon Jolly ranchers
She says that they are highly pigmented which you can see and it's a
comfortable Liquid lip that dries down to a lovely matte. They also don't move once they are dry...
I myself have not tried them so I will have to take her word for it.
They do look gorgeous on her lips even the blue one.
I need to get a picture of that one but here is watermelon
soda.
